abstract = {In mixed-valence or heavy-fermion systems, the
hybridization between local f orbitals and conduction band
states can cause the suppression of long-range magnetic
order, which competes with strong spin fluctuations. Ce- and
Yb-based systems have been found to exhibit fascinating
physical properties (heavy-fermion superconductivity,
non-Fermi-liquid states, etc.) when tuned to the vicinity of
magnetic quantum critical points by use of various external
control parameters (temperature, magnetic field, chemical
composition). Recently, similar effects (mixed-valence,
Kondo fluctuations, heavy Fermi liquid) have been reported
to exist in some Eu-based compounds. Unlike Ce (Yb), Eu has
a multiple electron (hole) occupancy of its $4f$ shell, and
the magnetic Eu$^{2+}$ state $(4f^{7})$ has no orbital
component in the usual $LS$ coupling scheme, which can lead
to a quite different and interesting physics. In the
EuCu$_2$(Si$_x$Ge$_{1−x}$)$_2$ series, where the valence
can be tuned by varying the Si/Ge ratio, it has been
reported that a significant valence fluctuation can exist
even in the magnetic order regime. This paper presents a
detailed study of the latter material using different
microscopic probes (XANES, Mössbauer spectroscopy, elastic
and inelastic neutron scattering), in which the composition
dependence of the magnetic order and dynamics across the
series is traced back to the change in the Eu valence state.
In particular, the results support the persistence of
valence fluctuations into the antiferromagnetic state over a
sizable composition range below the critical Si
concentration xc ≈ 0.65. The sequence of magnetic ground
states in the series is shown to reflect the evolution of
the magnetic spectral response.},
